What is the reason for connecting a buffer tank after the safety valve and then directly linking it to the atmospheric receiving tank?

Thread Content

A buffer tank is connected after the safety valve; the buffer tank is directly connected to a receiving tank, which in turn is connected to the atmosphere. What is the function of a buffer tank? ? Reduce the impact on the final receiving slot?

Buffer tanks are widely used in central air conditioning systems, boilers, water heaters, variable-frequency, and constant-pressure water supply devices. Their buffering system helps to stabilize pressure and eliminate water hammer effects, thereby reducing pressure fluctuations. When there are slight changes in water pressure within the system, the automatic expansion and contraction of the air bladder in the buffer tank helps to mitigate these pressure changes, ensuring stable water pressure and preventing the water pump from starting frequently due to pressure variations.

Buffer tanks are generally used for pressure stabilization. If the buffer tank here contains an absorption medium, it may be able to absorb harmful substances before they are released

The buffer tank operates at a certain equilibrium pressure, preventing problems in the receiving tanks that follow

The considerations are mainly based on safety and process aspects. 1. If a buffer tank is not used, during the discharge from the receiving tank, especially when discharge is done manually, if the safety valve opens suddenly, it can pose a risk to the operators; in the absence of manual operation, this can lead to fluctuations in the pressure at the inlet of the discharge device, which hinders stable operation. 2. It serves a collection function: the buffer tank reduces the pressure of the discharged substances. Any non-condensable gases will condense into liquids during this pressure reduction and fall into the buffer tank, after which these liquids can enter the receiving tank. 3. The buffer tank also acts as a liquid seal, ensuring that only liquid exits the receiving tank and no gas does

Separate the gas and liquid phases, collect the two phases, and balance the system pressure.

Agree to separate the gas and liquid phases, collect the two phases, and balance the system pressure.
